Emergence of vortices at the edges of planet-driven gaps in protoplanetary discs

Young planets embedded in protoplanetary discs (PPDs) excite spiral density waves, which propagate shock and deposit angular momentum in the disc. This results in gap opening around the planetary orbit, even for low (sub-thermal) mass planets, provided that the effective viscosity in the disc is low...
